difficulty which would then confront it
in the inevitable task of finding an old

The Age of chivaIry.

The seventh entertainment in the NJ. G. A.
course occurred last evening The lecturer
was Mr.. +. M, Fling of Biddeford, formerly
OF this city, having been member of the
class OF 70, p. II. S. In commencing his
discourse upon "The Age of Chiyalry," he
stated that 1t was the most romantic epoch
In history. The knight Of the middle ages
presents an exceedingly warlike appearance.
Dut one cannot read of them without admir-
ing their sterling qualities of honor and
bravery. Shortly after the birth of Christ.
the Roman empire included all of their
known world and its widespread possess
SONS demanded the keeping of vast army.
Inc Barbarians could not then make any
inroads upon their lands, but when the
power and wealth had been placed in the
hands of few and the lack of yirtue and
morality had wrought its terrible effect, the
hours Of Rome were numbered. In a few
years the Roman empire had fallen. Society
was depressed almost to the lowest condi-
ton possible, and the light of Christianity
burned dimly. Early in the 10th century.
however the encroachments of the barbarians
ceased and law and authority began the slow
work of redemption.
The fendal system was created which
make military service constantly necessary.
This it was which cramped the birth of the
age OF chivalry, whose influence is felt to
this day The Christian church had not
fallen with the empire, and it is to Christian
ity that the better part of knighthood owes
its origin.
The lecturer then proceeded to consider the
system of knighthood with its knights. He
described in graphic manner the castles,
their modes of defences, and the splendor of
their appointments. A few words concern
ing the crusades with their bloodshed and
horror concluded the address. 1t was an
exceedingly interesting lecture throughout.

Cant. AIhart Wood

Capt. Albert Wood, whose death was re-
ported yesterday, was one of the early
steamboat captains here, and for long time
commanded the steamer Admiral. on the
route from Portland to Eastport and st.
John. lie also commanded steamers plying
between Boston and the Kennebec and be-
tween Boston and Bangor, but his home was
always in Portlnd where he built the house
No. 10 ST. Lawrence street. One of his pe-
culiarities was quiet way of giving his
orders, quite noticeable at that time when
steamboats, usually departed with much
shouting and apparent confusion. Captain
Wood got away as quietly as do all COM
manders nowadays. In 1862 he took the
steamer Daniel Webster down to the James
river, where she was employed during the
war in transporting men and supplies At
the close of the war, in 1866, Captain Wood
was 60 years old and soon after gave I'D sea
life and removed to Wisconsin. His later
years, after the death of his wife, were
spent with his daughter, Mrs. Sarah L. Bar
rows, in Groton, n. Y, where he died
peacefully last Wednesday, in his SD year.
after brief illness, hardly to be called an
illness, indeed, for he had no disease except
age. He was member of the First Baptist
Church of this city and one Of the earliest
members of Maine Lodge of Odd Fellows.
The lodge was instituted in August, 1843.
and Captain Wood was admitted in January

given at the Augusta House Monday night
by Mrs. Geo. P. Wescott of Portland, Mrs
VIM. Engel of Bangor and Mrs. A. L. Lum
bert OF Houlton. There were one hundred
invitations issued and very few regrets were
received. Drive whist was the feature Of
the evening. The prizes were very beauti-
fnl, the first prize consisting of an elegant
hand painted fan with carved ivory sticks
for the lady, and for the gentleman hand
painted umbrella stand. BOBBY prizes, for
the lady, dainty little basket filed with
Huyler's chocolates; for the gentleman a
gllded shoe tied with blue ribbon on which
was painted, Last but not least" The
consolation prizes were beautiful embroid-
cred blotter and painted ash receiver. AT
ter the prizes were distributed, refreshments
were served and dancing followed to the
strains OF Pullen's orchestra. The dresses
were very lovely, many elegant costumes
being worn. Mrs. Wescott received In an
elegant imported costume Of black silk and
jet with magnificent diamonds, Mrs, Engel
IN light blue satin with draperies Of C1antll-
ly lace and diamonds. Mrs. Lumbert wore
a white wool dress with lace draperles and
sleeves.

THE HIGH SCHOOL.
Letterfrom Rev. Henry Blanchard.

To the Editor Of the Press:
1t appears to me my imperative duty
10 call the attention of my fellow citizenssof
Portland to the present condition Of our
High School.
have visited it several times. | have
studied its means of warming and ventila-
ton. have conversed with teachers and
pupils and parents and members Of our
school committee. The result is my pro-
found conviction that the school in the inter-
est Of the health of our children. must be
very largely renovated. AT present there
can be no command of equable warmth or OF
sufficient ventilation. Our children take
severe colds and are oppressed by serious
headaches. Some of our citizens have felt II
their duty to send their children to other
schools.
l urge the consideration Of the great, the
imperative need of change in the building
upon the attention of all who are interested
in the welfare of the young. ask my
brother elergymen to ascertain the iacts and
speak OF them from their pulpits. ask the
parents to talk with the members OF our new
city government as soon as they shall be
elected We must concentrate the demand
OF our citizens upon. our city authorities;
Our school committee have asked again and
again for neutrality-suspicious. Their re-
quests have been disregarded. For one, 1 pro
test against expenditure for site for soldiers
monument or for display on Atm OF July
until the crying needs of our High School
shall be amply supplied.
In conjunction with others, at the proper
time, shall do my part in organizing the
wishes Of our people into effective appeal by
public meeting or public hearing before our
city fathers. Meanwhile, hope all who see
the vast importance of providing for the
health OF our school children, and the inti-
mate connection between good sanitary con-
ditions and mental progress, will cooperate
with our school board In its reasonable de-
mand for an appropriation large enough to
put our High School into good condition for
health and study.
Fraternally yours,

The principal part of the services besides

Bacon; sermon from Matt. 2S-20, by Rev.
Il. S. Tead of Prospect Hill church. Somer-

]. Sawyer af Jonesport and used at dedica-
ton of the vestry to the new Congregational
church in that place. An audience of near
ly or quite GOO persons were present. The
work upon the church building has been 60
ing on for six months pasta consists of ex-
tensive repairs and the addition of a wing of
two stories. The room in the lower story
will be used as a prayer-meeting and Sunday
School room, and by means of sliding
glazed partitions, or doors, can be used as an
addition to the main audience room A
commodious room in the second story will
be used for the primary department Of the
Sunday School and the social purposes of
the church. All the work has been done in
the most thorough manner. The plans were
drawn by Fassett and Thompson of Port
land. Mr.. P. w. Files had charge of the
wood work, Mr.. Ira Bracket of the paint
ing. Mr.. Naylor of Portland has done the
decorating and Mr.. G. III. Farley Of Portland
has furnished the stained glass windows.
The whole cost has been. about $4,000, of
which cne-third has been expended in re-
pairs of the original building and the re-
nainder upon the addition
One-half Of the cost has been met by the
proprietors Of the paper mills in the village
and of the remainder $500 wassubscribed BY
the people when the work was entered upon
and the $1,000 not subscribed will probably
soon be taken up, so that this prosperous
church will be able to go forward without
the ineumbranee of debt.
A new bell weighing 1850 pounds has been
placed in the belfry.
The church has been furnished by the
ladies' with carpets and by the owner Of the
mills with electric lighting throughout with
out cost to the parish.
